[htmltmpl] bulletinboard

From: Paul B. G. <pb...@ya...> - 2004-02-17 22:12:38

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a open-source
bulletin board that uses HTML::TMPL?

I think it would make customizing much more simple.

thanks,

And a Wiki, and a Mhonarc replacement, and a blogger, too.  Oh, and a
pony.

(I'm writing all of the above (except the pony), since I haven't found one
yet.)

Hi all,

We use ikonBoard, http://www.ikonboard.com, a free message boards system th=
at
runs off of DBM or MySQL.=20

It does NOT use HTML::Template, but it IS written in Perl and it's quite ni=
ce.
It's extremely extensible using the administrative control panel. You basic=
ally
have the ability to edit 99% of the HTML that is presented to the user.=20

It's also FREE, which is an added bonus for all the features it provides. T=
he
only thing it doesn't do which I wish it did is to act as an archive for
mailing lists and the like, but I figure I can hack up a script to add stuf=
f
like that to the database directly.

The problem I had with Ikonboard was that it didn't do any file locking...
get two posts simultaneously and they'd stomp all over each other. Shades
of Matt's WWWBoard.  Of course, that was a couple of years ago, so it may
have matured since then, and probably has.

I think I know what you mean by stomping and given a DBM situation, I can
see that happening. You'd have a problem with the bit of code that gets
the next ID for an incoming post. There's a definite concurrency issue
there if you don't have something intelligent. I do not know if they have
resolved that.=20

Using it with MySQL would eliminate such a problem given that the
database is built to accomodate such a situation. (Insert two rows at the
'same time' and you'll still get two IDs from the database)

=46or the record, we've only ever used it in a database. It just makes
sense.
